Article Synopsis
- This study was a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating a new pilot hole preparation system for placing pedicle screws in minimally invasive lumbar fusion surgeries, comparing its efficacy and safety with traditional methods.
- A total of 60 patients were involved, and results showed that the new system significantly reduced the time needed for pilot hole preparation, screw placement, and fluoroscopy exposure compared to the conventional approach.
- Additionally, screw placement accuracy was better with the new system, indicating its potential for improved clinical outcomes in spinal surgeries.
